T'winkle Vendor Feature - Labyrinth Leather Craft

Hello again!  Here we go with one week left until the first ever T'winkle Market!  

Sounds like it's time for another vendor feature so you can get a little taste of what clever creations will be in store for all of us come April 18th!

Vendor Feature #4 

Labyrinth Leather Craft

Who are you?

I am Labyrinth Leather Craft.  More specifically,

Amanda Bennett...more like a weird genetic hybrid

of the two.  My business has "become" me.

What do you create?

Leather goods with a strong

focus on cuffs, belts and wallets.

What creative thing do you want to learn

or try next?

Smithing of one form or another.  Leather work

and leather dye has removed all pretense

of keeping my hands dirt free.

When you are not creating, what do you

like to do?

I enjoy a spot of apartment gardening.

For me it is a vicious process of planting,

nurturing, playing god, and then having 

the poor things die on me.  It is strangely

theraputic.

What music do you like to listen to while

creating?

I kinda enter nirvana when I'm creating, but if I had to fathom a guess then the music of Cirque De Soleil

and Delirium.
